Biggest opportunity: “notifications” and “slack” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 972 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| slack order alerts | #18 | #24 | down 1 |
| notifications your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| slack your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Just what I was looking for. Simple and easy Slack notifications. No mumbo jumbo overload. Great work!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ prograniti1.5y ago
This plugin does exactly what it promises—sends WooCommerce order updates straight to Slack in real time. Setup was quick, and it’s been a great way to keep our team in the loop without logging into WordPress. The notifications are clear and include key order details, though we’d love a bit more control over formatting and advanced filters. Still, for most store owners, it’s a solid time-saver and a great productivity boost. Highly recommended for teams already using Slack!
